Up and running with contact lenses

We are now completely ready to fit and supply contact lenses for our patients.  There are many brands of contact lenses and sometimes choosing the right type of contact lenses can seem overwhelming, or perhaps you tend to think that they are all just the same, so what does it matter?

Being fitted for the correct type of contact lens doesn't just ensure that your lenses give you optimum vision, it also makes sure that the lenses fit correctly, are comfortable to wear and are not causing any issues with the health of your eyes.  As contact lenses have become an every day disposable item, it can sometimes be forgotten that you are placing a foreign body onto the surface of the eyes.

As part of our contact lens assessments we will make sure that the contact lenses that we recommended are most suited for your eyes and your lifestyle.  This greatly reduces the risk of complications and adverse effects.

We are very pleased to have decided to work with Cooper Vision and Acuvue as our principle contact lens providers.  Both companies offer an excellent range of lenses and we are delighted to be working with two companies who strongly promote daily lenses, arguably the healthiest option for contact lens wear.

If you would like to find out more about our contact lens services then please do not hesitate to get in touch.  In the meantime, here's a great video from Acuvue about the importance of healthy lenses:
